About M. L. Buchman

Matthew at a rare moment of rest

Bestselling author M.L. Buchman started the first of over 60 novels and 100 short stories (along with an ever-growing pile of audiobooks narrated by the author) while flying from South Korea to ride across the Australian Outback. All part of a n around-the-world bicycle trip (a mid-life crisis on wheels) that ultimately launched his writing career. His true love is military romantic suspense; with contemporary romance, thrillers, and SF all vying for second place.

M. L. has built designed and built houses, flown and jumped out of airplanes, and consulted to the Fortune 100. He is constantly amazed at what can be done with a degree in geophysics.
